[ UNIT STATES cosmos I0 3 CHAIR ROCKIES.

This invention relates generally to chairs and has more particular reference to a cushion for the rockers thereof.

The prime object of the invention is provide a cue ion for chair rockers that is .so constructed as to permit of the ready ap* The V rovide 7 novel and efiicient means to permit t e perone'end of a chair rocker u manent attachment of the cushions upon the rockers, and as to readily permit the detachment of the same with respect thereto.

Other objects of the invention will become apparent as the naturethereof is .better understood, the cushions comprising the novel form,-combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, shown in the accompanying drawing and claimed.

In the drawing wherein like reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views:

Figure 1 is a fragmentaryl side elevation of 'a conventl al rocking c air, the rocker thereof disclgd being equipped with a cushion constructed in accordance with the present invention.

Figure 2 is a fragmentary perspect ve 'of on which has been arranged my improve cushion, and prior to the attachment of the same thereto. Figure 3 is an end elevation of the cushion as ipartiallz attached to the rocker. I

igure is a detail longitudinal section of one end of the rocker and cushion, and

Figure 5 is a view similar to Fi re 3, disclosing the cushion as fully attac ed to v the rocker.

In the drawing, the numeral 5 designates nerally a conventional form of rocking 0 air, and 6 one of the rockers thereof. My improved cushion constitutes the provision of a len h of rubber or other suitable compressible material that is of a len h equivalent to the lenggi of the particu ar rocker to which it is to associated, and is. of .relativelly U-shape in cross section as d sclosed in igure 2, said cushion bem designated by the reference character 7 .7 t this point it may be well to state that the side walls ofthe cushion are in such spaced relation as to snugly engage the sides of the rocker .nally through the base Application n e 17, me. lerlal Io. 100,100.

6 as to prevent the vertical displacement of the same therefrom.

The u per edges of the side walls of the cushion are headed as at 8-8 and runnin longitudinally therethrough are lengths o flexible wire 9-9 that project considerably outwardly of the cushion at the opposite ends thereof as clearly disclosed in Fi re 2. Also passing longitudinally through t e bottom wall of the cushion at o posits ends thereof are other len hs of g at opposite ends thereof.

In actual practice the cushion carrying the wires 99 and 1010 is arran upon the rocker 6 in the manner as disc osed in-Figure 2. After the cushion has been so arran ed, there is inserted at the opposite ends of t e rocker and between the rocker and the bottom wall of the cushion a predetermined length of leather or "other suitable hea exible wire 7 1010 that also exten beyond the cushion fabric 11 that extends outwardly of the en sof the rocker, and the cushion as disclosed.

The extreme outer edge of this'length of rubber or leather is turned over as at 12 the ends of the rocker and joined bytwisting' as shown in Figure 3. The portions of the wires 10-10 above the wires 9-9 as well as the leather or fabric above the wires 3-9 are then bent downwardly as per 4 and 5 to cover the wires 9-9 as w the twisted ends thereof to prevent the catch- 1n of the garments or the lilre in said twisted ends of these connected wires.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim'as new anddesire to secure by Lettcrs Patent is: f

1. In a chair rocker cushion, a; substantially U-shaped cushioning member ofsubstantially the samelength as the rocker and ii l d 11th hhrespecexten ing ongitu ina rou t e tive si'des of the U-shag ed cushioning member, additional wires extending longitudiioning member, the on .of all the wires projecting beyond the respective ends of the the rocker is adapted to fit. wires 1 and is so stitched to the body as to provide a pair sgrtion of the cushi rocker and the cushioning member, theiree ends of the side wires extending transversely tun rt the interconnected tisnsvnrsely extending of the aforennentioi'ied. side wires 2. in s, choir rocker cushion. a substanshaped cushioning member of subiuily' the lcngth the rocker and i ll tor roclier ndnptcd to fit, wires n udinnlly through the retho U-shupsd cushioning oer, additional wires extending longituuinnlly through t'nc base portion of the cushmcniber, the ends of all the wires projecting beyond the respective ends of the rocker and tho cushioning member, the free ends the side wires extending transversely across the respective ends of the rocker and biting secursd togctheiu the free ends of the wires which extend longitudinally through the boss portion of the tLshaped cushioning member being disposed upwardly sd'jucent the respective ends of the rocker, find. thence bent dowrn'rnrdly over the interconnected transversely extending ends of the trims, and a covering W aforementioned side for the and portions of the wires.

3. in a cha r rocker cushion, a substanni shaped member of: a length equivato the length of tho rocker and in which sunscreen the rocker is adapted to fit, a bead formed on each upper edge of the U-shnped member, a Wire extending longitudinally through each head, additional wires extending long;- tudinally through the base portion of t e cushioning member, the, endsof all said wires projecting beyond the ends of the cushioning member and the rocker,' a strip of flexible n'iutcriul inscrtiblo between the bottom of the cushioning member and each end of the rocker, pockets formed in the outer end portion of the strip for receiving the free ends of the wire which extend longitudinally through the base portion of the cushioning member at each end of the rocker, the outer end portions of the strips which project bcyond the respective ends of the rocker and the end portions of the wires disposed in the aforementioned pockets being disposed upwardly adjacent the respective ends of the rocker. the ends of thewires which extend longitudinally through the bends being. disposed transversely across the upwardly bent ends of the wires attached to the flexible member, the free ends of the transversely disposed wires being twisted together, the outer free end portions of the strips and the ends of the wires within said pockets being bent downwardly over transversely extending interconnected Wires.

In'testiinony whereof I afiix my signature.
